Sailing with Ocean Youth Trust Scotland can be a life-changing experience.
Our award-winning voyages help young people discover their potential through the medium of sail training, pushing their knowledge, teamwork and adaptability to the limits. Young people are not required to have any sailing experience, most people who sail with us don’t.
Our voyages are inherently safe; however, the unpredictable nature of sail training presents real and honest physical, mental and emotional challenges. Through our work, we help young people recognise the benefits of change and all participants go home with new skills and strengths.
Our voyages help young people to:
Build self-confidence
Develop problem solving and leadership skills
Experience the need for team work
Develop social and life skills
Gain an awareness of our environment
Experience healthy living
Develop a sense of community
Make new friends
We are committed to providing opportunities for everyone and have financial assistance available for both groups and individuals.
